Dear Body, what the hell?

[mousme]

So it appears that when on vacation I can only manage to drag myself out of bed early one day out of two. At least this morning I managed to get up before 10:30, but still! Sheesh. I thought it wasn't possible to "catch up" on sleep, but my body is giving it the good old college try anyway. :P

Anyway, I have a few things left to do before leaving for the weekend. Gotta get cracking so that I can leave at a halfway decent hour.

You can't catch up on missed sleep by sleeping a bunch in one day. It takes time to recover from sleep deprivation. One recovers more quickly by sleeping extra for a while. Well heck, one recovers from lots of things faster if one gets some extra sleep.

Ok, that makes sense of it. This also means that I'm not predisposed to oversleeping so much as I'm still catching up from my undergrad, and the first year or so of my daughter's life; sure it's only 5 years of sleep deprivation spaced out over the last 12 (well not quite 12) years, but recovery takes time...

My dearest savant_da_rat falls into bed exhausted on Friday and we've had weekends where he didn't get up until afternoon both days.

Bon voyage!
